A survey examining the printed book reading population in the United States as of February 2019 showed that 18 to 29-year-olds were more likely to have read a print book in the last year than their older counterparts. Approximately 74 percent of adults under the age of 30 said that they had read a print book in that time period, whereas for older respondents the share amounted to 65 percent or lower.
